Faculty oF medicinethe Faculty of medicine and the

university hospital of lud-

wig-maximilians-univer-

sität in munich are

among europe’s leading

centers of scholarly me-

dicine. the university is

connected to milestones

and persons of the history

of medicine: Wilhelm conrad

röntgen (x-rays), alois alzheimer (neurodege-

nerative dementia), max von pettenkofer (hygi-

ene), adolf Friedrich johann butenandt (sexual

hormones), and Feodor lynen (cholesterol syn-

thesis).

as of 2015, the faculty uniquely is member

site of all six national centers for health re-

search (translational cancer research, pneu-

mology research, infectious diseases research,

cardiovascular research, diabetes research and

neurodegenerative diseases research). these

centers reflect the foci of medical research that

are actively pursued in munich, from the basic

preclinical and clinical disciplines

to rare diseases research. as part of

the national program for excellence

the faculty hosts the munich cluster

for systems neurology and co-hosts the

graduate school of systemic neuroscien-

ces and the graduate school of Quantitative

biosciences.

the Faculty is speaker to seven

nationally supported collaborative

research centers (‘sonderfor-

schungsbereiche’) by the german

research Foundation (dFg).

it hosts six advanced grants

and eight further research pro-

jects by the european re-

search council (erc). the univer-

sity hospitals receive an annual

research budget of 140 million

euro from the state of bavaria and

secure additional external funding of

85 million euro per year.

university hospitalsthanks to its achievements in research, tea-

ching and patient care, the university hos-

pitals enjoy an excellent reputation both na-

tionally and internationally. our 10,104 staff

members in the areas of medi-

cine, patient care, admini-

stration, technology and

maintenance are taking

care of patients in 49 cli-

nical departments, insti-

tutes and divisions. in addition, 35 interdiscip-

linary centers offer individual medical care. in-

terdisciplinary collaboration of experts from dif-

ferent medical areas enables efficient diagnosis

and therapy. With 2,058 beds, the university of

munich hospital provides high standards of dia-

gnosis, treatment and nursing, and is, next to the

charité in berlin, the second largest university

hospital in germany.
